Thats When I Wake Up

Struan Shields


Tom: C

C
Half asleep now bed half empty
Am
Still i reach out half expecting
F
Warm skin against my hand
         G
There's a cold linen sheet instead
C
I'm wide awake now lay and listen
Am
But you wont come back it slowly sinks in
F
Drift off and I forget
         G
That i'm waking up alone and losing you again

[Chorus]
             C
Cause when I fall asleep
         Am                         F               G
Suddenly everything seems like it's back the way it was
            C                        Am
And all the pain is gone and my mind plays along
              F               G
Seems like we never called it off
    Am      G        F
And just as our lips touch
                   C
That's when i wake up

[Verse 2]
C
I tried to move on but no one warned me
     Am
That i'd start over every morning
F
I should kick the sheets off and start my day
         G
But it's easier to lie here in the bed I made
C                      Am                   F
And I shouldn't be surprised when I open my eyes
                     G
But it gets me everytime

[Chorus]
             C
Cause when I fall asleep
         Am                         F               G
Suddenly everything seems like it's back the way it was
            C                        Am
And all the pain is gone and my mind plays along
              F               G
Seems like we never called it off
    Am      G        F
And just as our lips touch
                   C
That's when i wake up

[Bridge]
Am                     G   F
And I go back in time
                      Am    C
Damn near every night
             F         Am
Hearin' you callin' my name
             F        Am
Feelin' you shake me awake
           F            C   G
Whisperin' New York can wait

[Chorus]
             C
Cause when I fall asleep
         Am                         F               G
Suddenly everything seems like it's back the way it was
            C                   Am
And all the pain is gone and my mind plays along
              F               G
Seems like we never called it off

[Outro]
          C
And I see memories
      Am                       F               G
As I start to lean in for the kiss I missed so much
    Am       G        F
But just as our lips touch
    Am      G         F
Reminds me what I've lost
                       C
And that's when I wake up
